23:01 <agd5f> hello
23:01 <marcoz> hi
23:01 <+alanc> hello
23:04 <+keithp> mtg?
23:05 <marcoz> tgit?
23:05 <+alanc> my calendar beeped there was a meeting, so I thought so
23:06 <+alanc> did anyone ever tell bart he hadn't escaped yet since elections aren't over yet?
23:06 <+keithp> mine too
23:06 <+keithp> alanc: yeah, but he didn't believe me
23:07 <marcoz> Election period closes: Sunday, Apr. 7, 2013, 23:59 UTC.
23:09 <stukreit> oh hiya
23:09 <+alanc> I suppose there's not much else to report on the election until then?
23:10 <marcoz> that's my take. there's enough votes cast to meet quorum, but we should stick to the schedule.
23:11 <+keithp> of course
23:11 <+keithp> I did hear that Bart is still waiting for PSU to finalize the contract for XDC
23:11 <+keithp> so, no news there either
23:12 <marcoz> agd5f: any GSOC updates?
23:13 <agd5f> nothing yet. I submitted out application. We'll see what happens
23:13 <agd5f> *our
23:16 <marcoz> without Bart, who's the taskmaster?
23:16 <stukreit> he's a good leader. have we not learned anything?
23:16 <+keithp> we've learned to be dependent on bart
23:17 <marcoz> any news on the 403 paperwork front?
23:18 <stukreit> if you mean "503", no, Aaron's waiting for 1 month for an irs response
23:18 <+emmes> hey all, sorry for being late
23:18 <+alanc> will need to select a secretary once the new board meets, unless we can convince Bart to keep doing that while not being on the board
23:19 <marcoz> bah, keyboard skilz. and thx
23:20 <marcoz> we'll have two people outside the US timezones. that'll make things interesting a bit.
23:20 <+alanc> we've had two from europe before, it's the two in different directions (europe & australia) that makes it fun
23:21 <+alanc> though maybe daniels was still in .au when he was on the board?
23:21 <+keithp> this time is pretty good for .au
23:21 <+keithp> at least it's daytime...
23:22 <marcoz> mupuf, it's like 11:30pm there right?
23:22 <+emmes> in europe, yes.
23:23 <+emmes> in australia? i'd have to guess
23:23 <+alanc> ideal time for hackers, or people who like to go out for dinner, and then come home
23:23 <marcoz> emmes: German efficiency yes? 11:30pm means no interruptions. :)
23:23 <+emmes> lol. exactly.
23:23 <+alanc> my clock says it's 7:23am in Brisbane
23:23 <+emmes> actually more like movie's out.
23:24 <+emmes> google says 8:23am
23:24 <+emmes> ok, 7:23am for brisbane
23:24 <+emmes> seems there are at least two timezones. makes sense.
23:24 <marcoz> I thought .au had 1/2 hr timezones?
23:25 <+alanc> I think .au has at least 4 timezones, but nearly no one lives in several of them
23:26 <marcoz> any other official business or items to discuss? (not to sidetrack us here.)
23:27 <+alanc> there was the XDC mail keith responded to
23:27 <+alanc> dunno if we want to vote today or wait for new board in two weeks
23:29 <marcoz> which email was this?
23:29 <+keithp> oh, right, i'd like to move that we offer the usual travel funding for an lwn.net author to come to XDC in portland
23:29 <+keithp> Michael Kerrisk, in particular
23:30 <+keithp> he came to Nuremberg and wrote a bunch of great articles for lwn.net
23:30 <agd5f> sounds good to me. +1
23:30 <marcoz> +1
23:30 <+alanc> it would be travel from Germany -> US if I understood his mail correctly
23:30 <+emmes> +1
23:30 <+keithp> alanc: I think so, yes
23:31 <+alanc> +1, since he's produced useful content for educational & outreach purposes with his articles
23:31 <stukreit> +1
23:31 <+keithp> sounds like 6 in favor then
23:33 <+alanc> and two absent (bart & anholt) makes 8
23:33 <+keithp> I'll let Michael know
23:33 <+keithp> now we just need PSU to emit a contract so we can announce the dates
23:43 <+alanc> so are we done for today?
23:46 <marcoz> i move yes
23:46 <+alanc> +1 to adjourn
23:46 <+keithp> sounds good to me
23:46 <stukreit> +1
23:48 <marcoz> +1
23:50 <agd5f> +1
